What sort of "conversion" do you mean? I have a pretty bad-assed modeled Leman Russ and some Veteran Guard made from Catachan and Cadian models.

Just because anyone agrees with anyone, doesn't mean they are correct. Beware the thin line between what is "Correct" and what is "Popular."

Not the best pic, but their is free hand greens stuff sculpting, parts from 6 different kits, and it all came out pretty well IMO.


See pics of my Orks, Tau, Emperor's Children, Necrons, and now Space Wolves here:

this guy is still one of my favorite conversions...
sorry for the poor 6 year old photos

the mix of space marine, catachan, and necromunda parts really worked well for a battered urban fighter...





this guy is my all-time favorite conversion, 'cause he looks like a stock model...
he is 22 different parts, from sources such as the inquisitor tech-priest, the iron warriors, space wolves, plastic dread, and necron destroyer...
he was built way back in '01, so the only source for the pointing powerfist was the chaos marines...
the star and the exhaust pipes were carved off, and the spot where the star was scrapped off got covered with a crux terminatus from the dread...
the chest is from the iron warriors bitz...
the shoulder pads are from the land raider sprue...
the head is a sergeant from the regular marine box, as well as the legs...
the scroll and skull on his shin are carved from a dread sarchophagus...
the bolter is from a special edition captain...
the icon on his belt if from the inquisitor tech-priest...
the big purity seal on his chest is from the dread...
the knife is from the space wolves(with the little wolf skull carved off, then the knife was flipped around, and a new skull added)...
the backpack is from the black library limited edition leonatus...
and finally, the necron is a destroyer head and spine...



thanks for lookin'...

cheers
jah



paint like ya got a pair!!!

I just got two for now.


This one I sliced open my thumb doing the helmet.


I just like the skulls I added at the bottom of the spokes.

Uhh, I have too many. So I might post a few.

My Buggy:


Captain Macmillan:


My Demolisher turret (which now has a tank commander which I like a bit better:


And Gears of Warhammer:


In fact, I nominate my entire guard army. Plus maybe some ogres that I have.

(Please don't ask this again, I might have made some more things which I consider to be my best conversions ever, and I probably won't show any restraint in posting at all)
